  2. Kaatsu - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaatsu

    Kaatsu (Japanese: 加圧, often styled as KAATSU or KA A TSU [1]) is a patented exercise method developed by Dr. Yoshiaki Sato that is based on blood flow moderation exercise (or vascular occlusion moderation training) involving compression of the vasculature proximal to the exercising muscles by the Kaatsu Master device.

  3. Blood flow restriction training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_flow_restriction...

    Blood flow restriction training / Occlusion Training (also abbreviated BFR training [1]) or Occlusion Training or KAATSU is an exercise and rehabilitation modality where resistance exercise, aerobic exercise or physical therapy movements are performed while using an Occlusion Cuff which is applied to the proximal aspect of the muscle on either the arms or legs. [2]

  4. Ischemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischemia

    Kidney ischemia is a loss of blood flow to the kidney cells. Several physical symptoms include shrinkage of one or both kidneys, [19] renovascular hypertension, [20] acute renal failure, [19] progressive azotemia, [19] and acute pulmonary edema. [19] It is a disease with high mortality rate and high morbidity. [21]

  5. Ocular ischemic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_ischemic_syndrome

    Ocular ischemic syndrome is the constellation of ocular signs and symptoms secondary to severe, chronic arterial hypoperfusion to the eye. [1] Amaurosis fugax is a form of acute vision loss caused by reduced blood flow to the eye; it may be a warning sign of an impending stroke, as both stroke and retinal artery occlusion can be caused by thromboembolism due to atherosclerosis elsewhere in the ...

  6. Vasoconstriction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasoconstriction

    For example, vasoconstriction is a hypothermic preventative in which the blood vessels constrict and blood must move at a higher pressure to actively prevent a hypoxic reaction. ATP is used as a form of energy to increase this pressure to heat the body. Once homeostasis is restored, the blood pressure and ATP production regulates.

  7. Blood–ocular barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood–ocular_barrier

    The blood–ocular barrier is a barrier created by endothelium of capillaries of the retina and iris, ciliary epithelium and retinal pigment epithelium. [1] It is a physical barrier between the local blood vessels and most parts of the eye itself, and stops many substances including drugs from traveling across it. [2]

  8. Posterior ischemic optic neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_ischemic_optic...

    The optic nerve can be at very high risk for damage from insufficient blood supply due to swelling (from lack of oxygen) in a confined bony space resulting in a compartment syndrome. Restricted blood flow can lead to permanent damage to the optic nerve and result in blindness (often in both eyes).

  9. Glaucoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaucoma

    Other factors can cause glaucoma, known as "secondary glaucoma", including prolonged use of steroids (steroid-induced glaucoma); conditions that severely restrict blood flow to the eye, such as severe diabetic retinopathy and central retinal vein occlusion (neovascular glaucoma); ocular trauma (angle-recession glaucoma); plateau iris; and ...
